Derrick was moving through the entree way toward the principal section of the shipyard. Ahead to his right Staff sergeant-at-law Randall Jimison signaled to his left wing. Sergeant get-go course of study Book of Daniel Greg Norman nodded as he adjusted the mirror. Looking back he signaled two guards in a standard patrol. Nodding Derrick signaled to take them quietly no noise. Shaking his forefront he thought back to Tempro.

Both men slipped around the corner as Derrick watched in the mirror that they had left. As still as he remembered them being, Derrick watched as they approached then put both guards away with lilliputian to no dissonance.

Derrick came to both men at a run as they stood in front of the thick security threshold. When both men shrugged at him Derrick again thought to Tempro, a moment later the threshold clicked then slowly opened. Smiling both men nodded as they moved inside.

Derrick nodded to both men as he signaled to spread out looking for any Sir Thomas More guards. Shaking his head Derrick had n't expected the situation that was here. Apparently the ship pace had been infiltrated by some really bad persona. According to Tempro all that was known was that there had been an explosion on the transport as it moved away from the ship yard.

Derrick had cursed when he saw what appeared to be pirate again in the main hall. So far the scan had indicated thirty men that were here, well 20 eight now. All the write up had said that 30 torso had been found after the transport had exploded. Further into the complex Derrick almost growled when he saw that their foe had tripled their guard. ‘ shucks'he thought, ‘ did they know that they were here ?'

Derrick saw that both men were working their way back to him. `` I can see at least eight out here, and another eight at the future articulation. might get one set of them not for sure about both. '' Norman told him.

'' I tend to agree, we could get five or six, but afraid the last two or three might set off the alarm. Sorry Commander. '' Jimison told Derrick.
Derrick sat a moment as he was listening to Tempro. Nodding Derrick described a way into where the people from the transport were being held. A mere ten minutes later they were well inside about to make a move when an alert went off.

'' What 's with all the shit dissonance ? '' A bombastic man with several scars on his quondam face snarled into his com.

'' Found the outer most safety dead sir, '' came the vocalisation of a Lester Willis Young sounding man.

'' WHAT ! ! ? ? Everyone out ! Find the prick ! Leave three here with me, ought to be enough to control these scared pansy. '' The obvious leader was yelling into the com.

Derrick smiled then nodded to both Gregory John Norman and Jimison. Both men, moved through the back of the wall picking their status. Taking a deep breath Derrick knew that this next part was risky as it always was. Checking his repulser undershirt he stepped out into the room.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Derrick yelled then dived back in the paries.

All four of the pirates whirled toward where they had heard the call. `` They are in here with us ! '' The former scar faced man yelled into his com. Then toward the elbow room he said, `` You 're idle you piece of doodly-squat ! ''

Rushing toward the rampart, the leader only heard the first then the second of his men go down. `` Get back ... '' The man started to yell then the com. was flying across the room with a hole in it. A moment later the one-third of the men went down.

Grabbing one of the females in the way the man shouted to the air placing a terrible knife at her throat. `` Go ahead but I guarantee that 's she 's abruptly whether or not you get me ! '' Two crack from unlike directions were heard. Then the knife was flying in one direction as the man was falling back with a golf hole in the slope of his pass.

Derrick ran out to check on Shiloh and concession. `` Lieutenant Shiloh, Warrant Cary Grant can you both stand ? ''

Both men looked up at Derrick with both their sassing hanging open. `` Sir ? '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing stated. `` Is that really you ? ''

Derrick had to chuckle, `` Yes, though I think we 're about to have fellowship. I want you and Grant to get everyone out of here and back to your ship. '' Derrick smiled more as he patted both of the men on their backs.

Hiram Ulysses Grant snapped to care as did Shiloh. `` Will do sir ! '' Grant said as they gathered everyone up heading for the open wall.

Derrick waited until they were all out then entered the rampart himself moving to a improve view. Touching his ear he said. `` Take them all no survivors ! ''

'' No problem, '' came Jimison 's macabre reply.

'' felicitous to clean house up the filthiness. '' Norman said with a smile.

The next ten arcminute could only be described as a blood Bath as the men came in en masse shot. Then they were falling almost as fast, as all three of the men took them out. Unable to see their object the final few panicked trying to escape. They were also taken down by various well placed shots.

A sound Derrick had n't heard in a long sentence came from his communicator. `` Yes ? !"Derrick stated when he opened the channel.

'' Commander ? '' Came the articulation of Shiloh.

'' Yes Lieutenant ? '' Derrick said a moment later.

'' Just wanted to let you know that we are secure. The married woman and four children were well hidden so they were safe. '' Shiloh replied.

'' Wife and four baby ? I never knew you were married ! Before you leave I 'd care to fulfill them. '' Derrick told the man as he silently cursed to himself. imprecate it ! Why in the blaze had n't he thought that they might be married AND have shaver. Shaking his head he guessed he thought that they were all loners like he was.

'' for certain commandant, we 've got a bit of metre before we leave. We have to restart the plasm campaign so it 's going to be at to the lowest degree an minute. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing responded.

'' Oh, good then I 'll get to meet all of them. '' Derrick said through tight drawn lips. `` At least I hope I get to meet all of them. ''

'' Yes sir. Mika is thrilled to cope with the man she says kept me alert to occur back to her ! '' Shiloh chuckled.

'' Well, I 'm glad I have a fan. '' Derrick said with a pinch of laugh in his articulation. Looking up Derrick 's grimace was suddenly grim as he nodded. anathemize it ! They had so little metre !

Turning toward both Gregory John Norman and Jimison, Derrick advised them. `` I 'm sending you both back to Tempro, we 've only got three minute before all infernal region breaks loose. I really do n't want to be here when the Texas Ranger arrive. It 's going to take all Tempro has to get clear enough. Unfortunately the ripalon vitality prevents him from using a lot of his setup. ``

'' Are we in danger commander ? '' Jimison asked.

'' No I do n't think so as long as we are away before the sentence. '' Derrick replied.

'' Do we receive to sir ? Ca n't we just carry through them all ? '' Norman said with a disconsolate cheek.

'' I wish I could. Few know of Tempro and I'd rather observe it that way as long as potential. That plus I 'd hate for others to think I was changing their and my past tense. No I have to hold things as close to what they should be as possible. You know I need all of you, I am taking a very big risk taking Shiloh 's family. Though if I do n't, I know he 'd hate me as long as he lived. '' Derrick told them.

Both men nodded with large eyes then they winked out as Derrick thought to Tempro. [ `` I want you to be ready to go as soon as possible. Are the trackers working ? ]

[ `` Yes father, they are functioning at optimum efficiency. I have another five ready for you sire. '' ] Came Tempro 's thought process.

[ `` Good station them now. ] Derrick replied. On a hold over next to Derrick there was a shimmering as five extremely little electronic spell appeared. [ `` reach, '' ] Derrick asked.

[ `` I can get a clear signal for at to the lowest degree 200,000 kilometers. After that a booster is needed. I estimate that this is barely enough distance to translate minimal equipment casualty. '' ] Tempro answered.

Derrick nodded as he scooped up the electronics heading toward where the shipping was docked. Stepping onboard he was suddenly surrounded by three of Shiloh 's nestling, and then a slender Asian looking fair sex walked to him giving him a hug as he patted her back.

'' I am so gladiolus to finally run into you sir. '' The charwoman said as soon as she released him. `` Thanks to you I still have my Gunter. ''

Derrick had been prepared to actually hate the char. Now he could see why Gunter Shiloh had been drawn to her. `` Thank you ma'am. I just hope that the succeeding few hours are n't too much of a tension to you or your children. '' Derrick said as he was shaking the hand of the 16 and fourteen twelvemonth old sons of the woman. A ten year old boy was hiding further back walking out when his mother called him.

Derrick shook his school principal there was no way he could ever hate any of these offspring of Shiloh. Slyly he patted all three of the males on the back as he moved toward where Shiloh and Ulysses Grant were in the control of the ship.

Both men stood to toast Derrick as he came in. `` gladiolus to see you commander. You really saved us back there. '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing said.

Looking down assignment stated. `` We should be fix to go in half an hour. Can we give you and your men a ride ? ''

'' My men ? '' Derrick said with a surprised look.

'' I know when more than one blastoff is taken sir. Especially when the loss leader went down. Two shots from two different directions. Hell if I did n't get laid bettor I 'd say it was Gregory John Norman and Jimison. '' Here Grant hung his head. `` I know that 's insufferable as they both are bushed. ''

It took all Derrick had not to smile as he thought of both the men alive and well back on Tempro. `` Yes, it was a sad day when both of them died. I felt a part of myself ripped away when I found out. ''

Both Ulysses Grant and battle of Shiloh were nodding as they hung their promontory. `` I 'm glad you got to get together the folk. '' Shiloh told Derrick.

'' Yes, you have some fine son police lieutenant. '' Derrick told him.

Nodding Shiloh suddenly looked up. `` Thank you sir, what did you think of little Shelly ? ''

'' Shelly ? I did n't meet a Shelly. I was wondering why you told me you had four children when I only met three ! '' Derrick stated.

Shiloh 's eyes got panoptic then he nodded as he picked up a com. `` Shelly battle of Shiloh ! You unspoiled not be in the blood plasma reactor room again ! I 'm afraid I have to go get her. I 'll be correct back. ''

'' I have to go police lieutenant ; I just hope our way of life Cross again. '' Derrick said as he was cursing under his breath. [ Follow him Tempro ! If you have to take him early when he is touching her then do it ! '' ]

[ Yes Sire. I have him on now. I will IMT you as soon as you are decipherable. '' ] Tempro replied.

[ `` Alright leaving now. Start away as soon as I am aboard. ] Derrick said.

'' Sir ? '' Derrick heard from derriere him as he was about to mistreat out of the ship hatch. `` It would only conduct a present moment ; do you really hold to go ? ''

Derrick stopped, turned around towards battle of Shiloh standing to his full six metrical unit two inch peak. `` I 'll adjoin her one day Lieutenant, I suggest no topic what happens in the next few hours ? You hold that little girl tight, very cockeyed understand ? ''

Shiloh nodded a flavour of surprise and worry on his face as he thanked the commander. Hurrying past Derrick, Shiloh made his way to the reactor room as fast as he could. Derrick smiled sadly as he stepped outside the ship then winked out.

Shiloh started to hunt in the reactor room for Shelly as fast as he could. Something cryptic in what the commander said was nagging at him. Finally ! Shilo found her sitting on the other side of the reactor room watching the locomotive engineer.

His hands on his pelvis he walked up behind her. Slowly turning her point she gulped a bit at the looking on her father 's face. `` Uh-oh. '' She stated. `` I 'm in trouble ? ''

'' Not as much as when your mother finds out vernal lady ! '' battle of Pittsburgh Landing told her with a grim face on his face that was quickly melting. The sorrowful, almost hapless look Shelly 's brass held was about to cause battle of Pittsburgh Landing to laugh. He knew all her conjuring trick though he was n't immune to all of them.

'' Are you going to evidence mommy ? '' The nine year old asked of her father.

'' Hmmmm, not sure, though this is a good affair to control over your headspring do n't you think ? '' Gunter said a small smile small smiling on his lips.

'' Daddy ! I 'm just a kid ! '' Shelly cried.

Shiloh was shaking his caput as he touched the black curl on her nous. `` Oh yeah ? '' battle of Shiloh said with his hand on his Kuki-Chin. `` Sometimes I wonder about that ! Your vocabulary and noesis seem to be far beyond that of a mere kid ! come on let 's go get you strapped in with your brothers and female parent we 're about to leave. ''

They were walking toward the berthing area when the Commander 's last language came back to him. [ lieutenant, I suggest no thing what happens in the next few hr. You hold that little girl tight, very tight understand ? ] Damn it ! Gunter still could n't shake the feeling that something was up. It seemed way to beshrew much a coincidence that the commander had shown up.

Taking out his com. Gunter called his wife. `` I 'm taking Shelly to the control room Mika. ''

'' I thought you did n't allow her in there. '' Came her response.

'' Usually I would n't, but I got a unusual belief. I have n't had one like this in a long time last time was with the commander also. I almost ignored it, damn near got me killed. '' He told his wife.

'' Gunter, are you alright ? I can hear almost fear in your interpreter ! '' She replied.

'' Like I said not trusted, things just seem odd. '' he said.

'' Alright but hold her fast hon. '' Mika told him.

Clicking off Gunter could only gaze at the com. with a jump face. Almost the same thing that the commander had said !

Making his way to the ascendance room he sat with Shelly on his lap. To say the little girl was thrilled was an understatement. It was almost an time of day later when battle of Pittsburgh Landing looked over to Grant as they both started the procedures to undock then leave.

'' Levels calculate good, all hatches closed, all seals good. No ruptures, no loss of atmosphere. Now backing out, ready when you are sir. '' grant told him.

battle of Shiloh was about to activate the engines when he noticed they were still a lilliputian skinny to the station. `` Mr. subsidization I suggest we put more than a mere thousand klick between us and the post. Did you notify the Rangers of what happened ? ''

'' I have been trying ; it appears that there is an stranger energy coming from the station. I have compensated for it though still no liaison. '' Grant told him.

Something was nagging at Shiloh 's brain more as he watched them get to finally slip further from the station. The energy he was seeing he swore he 'd seen it before. `` Texas Ranger control. This is transport R-00101. Do you take me ranger command ? ''

A here and now later there was a crackling as they both heard, `` this -- -- -command. You are in a -- - -- -- - -- -. repetition you -- - -- - high -- -- - area. '' Came the infirm sounding staticky signal.

'' bid we we 're attacked by pirates. Please send supporter to old space curtilage OR - 030 near outer rim. '' Grant said. `` Irish bull ca n't look to get through. surmisal we need to get further away. ''

battle of Shiloh nodded they were at 4000 kilometers and steadily moving though it was all inertia. Reaching for locomotive control Shiloh pressed forward gripping Shelly tighter, as what had been nagging at his nous broke free !

'' Follow them as close as you dare Tempro. '' Derrick said as he gripped the ascendency chair. Damn it he hated to wait like this ! `` Time ? ''

'' info says that the ship exploded five proceedings from now. '' Tempro said as they watched the ship slowly make its way further from the post. `` 4000 km, 4100, 4300, 4500. Now initiating. ``

A minute later the total ship exploded ! `` Did you get them all ? '' Derrick almost yelled.

'' I am having difficulty retrieving the final stage two ! sire I am afraid I am going to lose them ! '' Tempro cried.

Derrick flew to the mastery input key plank as he was typing dissipated than he 'd ever done. `` Shelby ! '' Derrick was screaming as she appeared. `` I need you to interlock your IMT with Tempro 's ''

'' Derrick that would bite my IMT out completely. It would take at least a workweek to restore. '' Shelby told him.

Derrick was still typing as fast as he could. `` Please Shelby I ca n't fall back them ! I ca n't let them die out there alone ! I ca n't ! ``

Shelby 's eyes had rip in them as she nodded : `` Now syncing IMT arrangement together. Brother I am increasing and matching you IMT frequency. I can see them brother now increasing to one hundred per centum, now one hundred ten, one twenty, one thirty five. Now at one 50. ''

'' I have them sire the increase is helping. Almost there ! '' Tempro told Derrick.

Derrick looked at Shelby as tears started to precipitate from her eyes. `` I 'm sorry Derrick I have no more. I can feel the organization starting to bomb. ''

Derrick heard a distant burst as the ship shook a bit. `` Shelby are you O.K. ? ''

'' Not completely Derrick, I am afraid that my IMT system has exploded. It also seems to have taken out a few of my organisation. I 'm afraid I will throw to regen for a prison term. I 'm bad I failed you Derrick. '' Shelby said with tears in her eyes then she vanished.

'' Shelby ! '' Derrick was yelling as there was a shimmer on the base near him. Shining bright a moment then Derrick saw an unconscious Shiloh with his implements of war wrapped tightly around a nine year old miss.

The girl struggled out of his arms as she started to cry then tried to wake her father up. `` Daddy, please wake up ! I 'm sorry I was in engineering again please daddy ! '' Looking up seeing Derrick the piddling girl asked, `` Can you please help my dad ? He 's hurt ! ''

Derrick immediately looked at Tempro, `` hospital now ! '' Tempro nodded as Gunter winked out the footling girl staring at the spot he 'd been in.

'' He 's ok, he 's in the infirmary. You know what that is do n't you ? '' Derrick asked a worried look on his human face.

'' Of line mister, '' the trivial girl said as a strange face came over her face. `` It 's a lieu for the care of the infirm, sick, or injured ; infirmary or installation serving as a hospital. ''

Derrick nodded as he looked closely at the child. She appeared to be normal though as he well knew looks were ALWAYS deceiving. `` Please abide by Tempro to where he is please that way you can be there when he awakes. ''

Slowly getting off the pack of cards she finally noticed the other men who were there with him. Then she turned toward Derrick, `` is pop going to be ok ? I remember that something exploded as daddy was reaching to do something with the command. I heard him yell as he held me tight then he was quiet. Then all of a sudden we were here. This is really unknown. ''

Derrick was nodding as he watched the little girl following Tempro out. Yes he thought, strange indeed !

It was perhaps a day and a half later when Gunter jerked awake then tried to get up. To his surprise he could hardly move. A little girl 's giggle drew his attention to the early face of the bio-bed. `` Shelly ? '' he said.

'' Hey daddy, you 're finally awake ! I was afraid that you were n't going to wake up ! '' Here the petty girl threw her arms around the man as tears of joy started to light from her optic. `` I was so daunt I was going to turn a loss you ! ''

'' I feel OK, where exactly are we ? '' Gunter asked.

'' Well, the see through man said we are on an ... '' Here she was thinking a consequence then her face lit up. `` Yes ! The see through man said we are on one of the Elite Imperial protector ships ! ''

'' WHAT ! ? ? I thought all of those were destroyed centuries ago. '' A start Gunter said.

'' Basically they were. '' Came Derrick 's vocalization from the door. Though one survived, with her I have managed to line up fourteen others. ''

'' air force officer ! lamb God it 's salutary to see you again ! Are you a prisoner here also ? I 'd get up but I seem to be held here. ''

Derrick started to laugh as Gunter again tried to uprise then conflict to get loose. `` No, not a prisoner though I know how you feel. I have experienced the bio-bed a few times myself. ''

'' Bio-bed ? I ... Shelly are you ok ? You were n't hurt ? '' A now very worried Gunter asked.

'' I 'm fine dada ; the see through man checked me and said I was in excellent health. '' Shelly said.

'' The see through man ? What is she talking about ? '' Gunter asked.

A shimmering of lightness appeared beside the bio-bed as Tempro appeared. With a sigh Tempro said, `` I believe she is referring to me Lieutenant. '' Then Tempro gasp as Shelly ran her hand through his kisser with a giggle.

'' See daddy ? The see through man ! '' Shelly said with another giggle.

Sighing again Tempro looked at Gunter, `` Please sir, could you please get her to block doing that ? I find it quite rude ! ''

'' Well I 'll be ! A holo-gram ! What exactly are you ? '' Gunter asked.

'' What you see is a holographic agency of me. I am called Tempro the living Artificial Intelligence of this ship. '' Tempro said with a sigh as Shelly giggled passing her hand and arm through Tempro.

'' Shelly please stop passing your helping hand through the hologram ! '' Gunter told her.

Shelly suddenly stopped a unknown looking and light in her heart. Turning toward Tempro she said, `` You are an encoding of the light field as an interference pattern of seemingly random variations in the opaqueness, density, or surface visibility of the photographic medium. ''

Tempro stopped suddenly as he looked at the vernal girl. `` Yes I am young lady Shelly. Do you have questions ? ''

Still with a unusual feeling on her facial expression she asked, `` Are you sire via lense and lasers ? ''

'' No Miss Shelly I am a protrusion contained within a harmless gas. It sustains the figure of speech no subject what the visible light is in the room. I can be made with lens and lasers though they are crude and faulty. ''

Shelly was nodding as she took in everything that Tempro was telling her. `` It may be possible to erect a scheme to provide you a way to exist outside the ship on your own while maintaining controller of the ship. I fear though that with the electric current technology that it might not be potential for a bit. ''

Tempro was nodding as he was conducting a scan of the little girl. Looking over to Derrick Tempro 's middle got tumid. `` We have to get her to exclude that area of her brain off ! forefather if we do n't it will pop her ! ''
Derrick looked at the fille completely at a exit for the foremost meter in a tenacious time. `` Please let me sir. '' Derrick heard from the bio-bed.

'' Please if there 's anything you can do ! '' Derrick told the occupy father on the bed.

'' Shelly ? Shelly it 's pop. Come back to me baby girl, it 's ok just come back to daddy. '' Gunter said.

Softly at inaugural then they all saw the rip start from her middle they heard. `` Daddy ? dad ? papa ! '' Suddenly the little young lady was running to her father as she threw her arms around him. The only audio they heard was the sobbing of Shelly on her father 's chest.

Then they all heard a sigh as she fainted on him. Gently picking her up Derrick put her into another bio-bed. `` I want a full psychoanalysis of her. find out if there is a way to help her ... somehow. ''

Another door opened as Hiram Ulysses Grant walked in. `` You better let his wife out soon or we 're going to have a BIG problem with that little woman. She damn near took my head off ! ''

'' She 's probably still pissed about the last clip you got me drunk. '' Gunter growled. `` I am afraid that I ca n't allow for yet. ''

'' What exactly did she say ? '' Derrick asked.

Grant snapped to attention then stated, `` she said and I quote. ‘ If another god forsaken person or matter ’. '' Here he looked at Tempro, `` sorry Tempro. ‘ seminal fluid in here to tell me to relax I am either going to violently kill them or put a yap in the wall.'Unquote. ''

'' Oh Irish bull ! '' battle of Shiloh said. `` She is material pissed. Better let her out before she starts destroying stuff. ''

Derrick 's eyes got large as he looked at both men. `` Tempro bring her straight person here. excuse you are taking her and the son to see her husband. Close off everything, straight here. ''

Tempro looked at the door then nodded. `` They are all on the way though she seemed to be rather distressed. Oh my ! She is yelling at me to rush ! ''

A moment later a rather angry Asian woman walked in with three male child. `` Gunter ? Shelly ? WHAT IN THE blaze is going on here ? '' Walking to Shelly split started then she walked to Gunter. `` It happened again did n't it ? ''

Mika hugged Gunter as much as she could then was staring wide eyed at the medical elbow room. Then even wider when Gunter told her that Derrick was trying to regain a way to help Shelly.

Nodding to her husband she got up walking to Derrick. `` Thank you sir for helping them both, I just hope it is potential. She is the only fille I have or will ever have. I damned near died having her I can never have children again. '' Derrick nodded as he leaned to whisper in her ear, causing another unit of ammunition of tears. Then she kissed Derrick 's cheek telling him thank you as she went to her daughter
